El Reno High School’s boys and girls tennis teams kicked off the 2021 season last week. Both teams visited the Oklahoma City Tennis Center on different days to take part in the Putnam City North Invitationals.

Between those outings, the EHS squads played host to the Piedmont Wildcats for a dual at the Legion Park courts, with the visitors winning the outing over the Indians.

Termed young squads by head coach Jennifer Myers, El Reno will be back in action Monday in Shawnee for the 2021 Suburban Conference championships.

Paced by Caroline Huber’s first hat trick of the season, El Reno High School’s girls soccer team rebounded from back-to-back tournament losses to defeat Southeast 5-1 last week at Memorial Stadium.

El Reno improved to 5-3 on the season and 1-0 in District 5A-1 action. The Indians are third in the district under the new ranking system behind Bishop McGuinness and Noble.

The Indians dominated Southeast in three key statistics, leading in total shots (35-4), on-goal shots (21-3) and corner kicks (7-0). The Spartans did hold a 41:31-37:12 edge in time of possession.

Breaking into the state rankings for the first time this season, Calumet High School’s baseball team has won four of its last five games including a runner-up finish in the recent Vici Invitational.

The Chieftains, ranked 19th in Class A, improved to 7-3 on the season after shutting out New Life Christian Academy.

Calumet defeated Fargo (12-2) and Seiling (9-0) in the tourney before losing to Vici 12-4 in the finals. The Indians are ranked 10th in the same poll.

Calumet batted .385 as a team for the four games, logging 30 hits, with 22 walks and 16 strikeouts.

After being shut out in the first game back from spring break, Union City High School’s slow-pitch softball team has reeled off five straight victories to break into the double-digit win total for the season.

The Tigers, ranked 20th in Class A, improved to 12-7 on the season with wins over Ninnekah (10-9), Calumet (10-8), Verden (14-8), Fort Cobb-Broxton (11-10) and Watonga (10-3).
